Nothing warms up a frosty nose on a cold winter day better than a warm cup of hot cocoa! Cozy up with this rich, chocolatey, holiday favorite that is easy to make at home and so delicious that you won’t ever go back to store-bought packets and dehydrated marshmallows ever again. Speaking of marshmallows, move on over mallows, there is a new kid in town. Peppermint cream is a magical concoction that is best described as “frozen whipped cream.” It sets up a bit like ice cream, and you can cut it into fun shapes to add to your cup. You get all the creamy goodness of whip with a delicate frosty texture that melts in your mouth (and in your cocoa). The pepperminty flavor adds a little extra coolness that lingers on your tongue. Get both recipes below!
